  Hi! I'm newcomer here. I'm QA engineer.
  
  I was writting a test script in VB for a web application (using Compuware's TestParter) and i found that it's very convinient to use SHDocVw library, to manipulate IE instance through automation interface. I can get referrence to new instance (e.g. "Dim IE As new SHDocVw.InternetExplorer"), but the problem is that I want to get referrence to IE instance that was already created, before the test script was ran (e.g. the IE was opened manually, and then the script has to acquire the referrence to that window).
  
  Does anybody known how can i do this ?
